earning their own living. believe So

Strength of Heated Metals.

Some interesting experiments on the
effects of heating on me strength and
ductility of metals used for machines
and structures wer0 recently made at
the Royal dockyard, Portsmouth,
England. All bronzes showed reg
ular, but not serious, decrease Of
strength and ductility up 10 a certain
point-which is between three and
four hundred degrees for ordinary gun
metals-beyond which the strength
suddenly drops to about one-half, and
the ductility vanishes. Phosphor-
bronze preserves two-thirds of its
strength and one-third of its ductility
up 10 five hundred degrees Fahrenheit;
and Muniz metal and pure copper arc
also fairly satisfactory in these re-
spects. Wrought iron gains in
strength up TO five hundred degreesi
but loses in ductility up to three hun
dred degrees. after which 1t gains.

The Republican National Commit
tee met IN Washington last week and
after good deal of ballotting between
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Omaha,
Minneapolis, St. Louis and Chicago
finally settled upon Chicago as the
place for holding the Presidential
convention. June 10, 1883, was the
time designated. The selection OF
Chicago was victory for Blaine, as
Sherman preferred Cincinnati. The
usual number of delegates,to be chos-
en- in the manner heretofore adopted,
will constitute the convention. The
plan of the Blaine men is to have the
Plumed Knight land at San Francis
co from his trip around the world
about the time the Convention meets.
He will be nominated and immsdi-
ately thereafter will cross the CONT
nent, stopping at all important points
to arouse the enthusiasm of his party
followers. The fact that Mr.. Blaine
FASTENED to reply TO the Presidents
Message indicates that he is not only
willing but anxious to make another
attempt next year TO attain the OBJ
ject OF his ambition, and is willing to
go to the country on the clean cut
issue of protection against tariff re-
form.

Although the distillers and brew
ers Of Iowa have shown little respec

stomach for tussle with Uncle Sam,
